Sami Nasri made ManU his bitch once this season.


He made Gary Neville his bitch, more specefically. I don't expect Sammy to light up like he did then, but it is good to know that ManU's defense isnt as stalwart as it was earlier in the season. Given our defensive question mark, they certainly aren't exempt from error in their back four either.

Yeah Vidic is prone to occasional stupidity lapses and their wides are occasionally poor.


BandwagonU starters:

Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney.

I also respect Arsenal for bringing in their young players year in and year out and selling em off. Definitely opposite of Chelsea.


So I made a parlay bet, I took: ManU -.5 and the Over at 2.5

I think we end with a 3-2 Final in ManU's favor.

Gunners Starters:

Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Silvestre, Gibbs, Diaby, Fabregas, Song, Walcott, Nasri and Adebayor.



Caterpillar, that's a interesting bet.

Diaby


Interesting pick. Indicates that our philosophy will be even more offensive minded than I expected.

I hope Diaby has a game like he did in the second leg against Roma

which I thought would happen because of injuries. I think the 2.5 Over will hit FOR SURE. Neither team is gonna stack the box, should lead to an aggressive and exciting match.

Fletcher? I don't see why this guy is starting in Old Trafford. Maybe at Aresenal, but even then, I think there is too much talent sitting on the bench for United.

I don't really have a team that I support in English soccer, but I've always had respect for both of these teams because of their coaches. Both Wenger and Ferguson are willing to play young talent and help them develop into stars, instead of buying 15 established players who all do the same thing like Massimo Moratti Obviously Wenger has less to work with than Sir Alex, and for that reason, I think ManU will win 2-1.

RvP, Gallas, and Clichy are the three starters that would normally be in the starting XI

Silvestre, Eduardo are also unfit, I believe.

Fletcher is a pretty solid player, I don't mind when he gets put in the starting lineup.

Jesus Tevez has some pretty heavy touches sometimes.
